"Cupcakes"

This wedding is, in two words, simply amazing. It pulls you in from the very first stunning image by FotoPerlas and leaves you to dream about it all day long. It makes "wow" a fixture in your vocabulary... And it begs you to spend your day (or week) wrapped up in all of its lovely. Yes, it is that kind of amazing. And with a gorgeous nature-inspired design by...

Who loves cupcakes? Cake? Macarons? Tea, pastries, raspberries? Okay, I know I've got your attention now. Chances are you answered yes to at least one (if not all) of the above questions. Well, LBBers, I'm so excited today, because I get to share some pretty delish tablescape inspiration with my favorite people. Bella Cupcake Couture (the fancy lady behind those cupcake wrappers) sent over three totally different tablescapes with the...

There is just something special about, simply put, a wedding in a barn. They can be rustic, they can be chic, they can be totally homegrown, and so often they are a fab combination of all three. The proof is in the big, wooden building of this Santa Barbara vineyard wedding. Braedon Photography captured a brilliant day of love, cupcakes (from Enjoy Cupcakes, no less), and farm...

With the record breaking heat wave our nation is experiencing this summer, I think it's about time for a breath of fresh air. This Wisconsin barn wedding was a great reminder as to why summer is so perfect for our favorite activity - weddings. The warm weather just seems to put a smile on everyone's faces. The summer color palettes are so much fun. And there are amazing, amazing flowers everywhere. Like the gorgeous bouquet from...

Hat's off to all of you brides and grooms who can plan a wedding in three months or less, and make it killer fab. It always amazes me to see the detail you are able to put into something that came together so quickly. This Nevada wedding did not take place in Las Vegas, wedding capital of the world and the brides hometown, but instead just outside at Mount Charleston. And the bride and groom pulled it together in two and a half months. Yep. Ten weeks. They are crazy good. The bride is a...

There is totally a reason the word "Chic" is in the word "Chicago" and I'm pretty sure this winter wedding just proved why. David Wittig Photography send this stunner our way, so we definitely owe a big thank you to him. The couples wedding style is killer - set in the middle of a bunch of amazing antiques at Chicago's famous Salvage One, they were somehow able to make...

It's no secret that we love Orange Girl Photographs. Based in Canada, she so often captures unbelievable affairs set in the mountains with buckets of snow. In fact, one of my first features on the LBB Blog was actually an inspiration shoot of hers! Obviously, Orange Girl never disappoints, so when I opened...

Is anyone else having a hard time believing we're more than half way through July already? Wedding season just seems to fly right by us, every single year. You blink and it's gone. And I'm sure it's because of quintessential summer weddings like this Charlottesville affair. Weddings like this, featuring fabulous florals from Pat's Floral Design, bright sunshine, and an adorable bride and groom go hand in hand with summer like peanut...

Give me a wedding all dressed in white, and I will swoon for days. And when said wedding takes place in Australia, forget about it. Weeks of swooning. This wedding, captured by Teneil Kable Photographer is just one of those weddings we can't stop thinking about. All the romantic white, the TWO pairs of designer shoes, the soft floral design from Flower Talk, and the quirky Chinese...

As far as we're concerned, Lake Tahoe has so many fabulous weddings we have a hard time keeping up! Luckily, we have the best of the best sending us the amazing Tahoe affairs. Like this Thunderbird Lodge wedding. For you water-loving brides, we've got the piercing blue lake. For you mountain-loving brides, seriously, check out that view. And to top it all off, the wedding itself, seen through the lens of Catherine Hall Studio, is...

After toughing out the magnitude of snow the whole country experienced this past winter, we felt it was about time to reward you to making it to summer. So we picked the most colorful, the most cheery, and the most summer-filled Palm Springs wedding we could find to celebrate the sunshine. ARTISAN, Event · Floral · Décor, LLC helped this Denver couple plan their California dream wedding, and...

When I was younger, Anne of Green Gables was my ultimate hero. At a very young age, I would have probably up and run away to Prince Edward Island if that meant I could meet her and her beau - the dreamy Gilbert Blythe - and live next to the Lake of Shining Waters. To me, that little island was just full of magic. I feel that little piece of background is needed before I enter a full on gush fest for this bey-ond perfect PEI photo shoot designed by Cheryl of...

Here's a little math equation for your afternoon. What do you get when you take one fun couple + a cake from THE Cake Boss + the Jersey Shore + Turn Loose The Art's amazing photographs? Answer: this awesome New Jersey wedding. Yes, the couple really just wanted to have a blast, the cake really was from...

Well, after devouring every little detail of this Oregon wedding, I have decided that I am officially ON the peacock bandwagon. And can I just say, it's pretty fun over here. The wedding, captured by Powers Studios, seems to have been pretty much awesome. A blast. Bridal Bliss planned this little number, all centered around the love this sweet couple shares, and of course, the...

Get ready to fall head over heels in love with this Rye Wedding by Vanessa Joy Photography. Head. over. (hopefully very pretty) heels. There is so much pretty to be had I felt like I could make 100 boards when putting this post together. I tried to reign it in, but that means the full gallery is just that - full. Full of so much pretty you can spend all day...

I love color. It makes my heart happy, and this Dallas wedding by Ben Q. Photography gave my heart it's daily dose of color-loving joy. I mean, seriously, how much do you love the seemingly million of lanterns and the orange chairs? How can you not be giddy looking at that fabulousness? I, for one, cannot be, and I have a sneaking suspicion you might have a smile on your face too.

Beach parties are a way of life in San Diego. What else are you going to do with miles and miles of coastline and perfect weather to boot? Rough, I know. But when beach parties meet the design and styling of our resident darling Sweet Emilia Jane, they take on a whole new level of cool infused with a mid-century modern flair and oodles of personality. Captured by Aimee...

We've seen all sorts of wedding themes here at SMP, but I think this couple hit the nail on the head when they honed in on what they wanted their day and theme to scream - "Us." Zeroing in on meaningful details, their laid back style and love of their families made for a completely gush-able affair. Add the gorgeous images of Jennefer Wilson Photography, and y'all, I think we have a SMP Texas worthy wedding (and you all...

After the Royal Nuptials, we all seem to be in a tizzy on this side of the pond about all things headdress. And when the inspiration of a photo shoot is F. Scott Fitzgerald, romance, whimsy, and all things vintage, you better believe we were expecting something magical adorning the brides crown. We were absolutely not disappointed. This shoot, dreamed up by Smart & Chic Bride...
